I enjoy the heck out of year end lists and the Goodreads Choice Awards are no exception. Let me just start this whole post by publicly proclaiming that I'm terrible at predicting the winners, but I have fun trying! 😂🤷🏼‍♀️ My original vote was definitely for Demon Copperhead but it didn't make it through to … Continue reading Goodreads Choice Awards // 2022

Once again, I had to hit the breaks on my reading as real life took over. I got to cheer on my girl in her first high school volleyball post-season run! They made it all the way to the State Championship match...and unfortunately, did not win. But taking 2nd place out of 60+ teams, experiencing … Continue reading November Wrap Up // 2022

There are some good books coming out and I hope they pull me out of the summer slump I found myself in! What's … Continue reading Fall Preview + TBR // 2022

There are some real contenders for my favorite book of the year on this list! I absolutely fell hard for the debut The Love Songs of W.E.B. DuBois and recommend everyone making time to read it. I know it's a big book, but you become so immersed in the story and characters that it flys … Continue reading Q2 Favorites // 2022

Oof...August was a rough month. I think it's mostly a preview of the school year ahead of me; I am the class sponsor for my son's class and we are in charge of concessions for all the home sports games. It's consumed my life in so many ways and mostly takes up all the free … Continue reading August Wrap Up // 2022
